Completing the ensemble is a cloak of light-blue serge lined and hooded in a deeper shade of blue, with Chinese embroidery outlining the hood. These fashionable and colourful creations were designed by the renowned fashion house of Paquin, led by the talented Jeanne Lanvin and William Barribal. The illustrations evoke an air of sophistication and elegance, reflecting the excitement and glamour of the Royal Ascot races. Whether day or evening wear, these vividly coloured garments were a bold statement of individuality and style for the fashionable women of society during this era.
